Build 947, App rejected, Samsung App Store: Sound is played during "silent mode"

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases

Andreas,

Just to make life more interesting, I’ve received a report that Google Play’s app reviewers do not want an app’s audio to be muted while the device is in “silent mode”, which is the exact opposite of what the Samsung App Store reviewers want.

We’re going to have to re-evaluate how “silent mode” should work in Corona sometime in the near future. We may have to make it a setting of some kind in Lua, meaning you may have to make separate builds for Google Play and Samsung just to make their app reviewers happy. We’ll keep you posted. And please feel free to post your ideas too.

Never a dull moment in the Android development world, eh? :slight_smile: [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 32924 reply_id: 139498[/import]

Hi Joshua,

great to hear that you’re on top of this!

Making it a setting seems to be a good way to solve this, and this does’t hurt - we have to do separate builds for Google Play and Samsung all the time, with there being no IAP for Samsung.

But we learned from our experiences with “Freeze!” (more than 1.000.000 freemium downloads now on iTunes) and we will not use Samsung Apps any longer, and no NOOK, too much hassle for very low gain. We’ll concentrate in the future only on iTunes / Amazon / Google Play.

So I will use my votes on your new feature-voting-system to push Amazon IAP a bit - so this will land on your desk again. :slight_smile: [import]uid: 107675 topic_id: 32924 reply_id: 140216[/import]
